A deconstructive house for musicians in the midst of an avocado grove

This house by Sharon Neuman Architects was planned for musicians who wanted a deconstructive building, in the midst of an avocado grove. The architects tried to minimize the number of trees they had to clear: the plan required the space of six trees, but unfortunately they discovered that a 7th tree was to sick to survive, so they enlarged the porch. Large openings were designed towards the north and south, ideal in Israeli weather. They used a large, inclined concrete roof to shade the openings, as well as the large trees.
